"Chu Qingxue, tell me, who do you love? Is it Gu Jue?"
Sheng Yanxuan's eyes gradually turned red, and his voice was hoarse and sinister.
His hand holding Chu Qingxue was shaking, and Chu Qingxue frowned in pain.
She looked into Sheng Yanxuan's scarlet eyes, and a strange emotion surged in her heart.
Such Sheng Yanxuan, the one she once loved most...
He was now so unfamiliar that it frightened her.
Chu Qingxue closed her eyes, she did not dare to look into Sheng Yanxuan's eyes.
"Can you please stop being like this..." Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of crying.
She didn't want to say another word to Sheng Yanxuan, it was useless no matter how much she said.
Sheng Yanxuan smiled lowly, and his smile was extremely bitter.
Chu Qingxue did not dare to open her eyes and look at him. She was afraid of seeing Sheng Yanxuan's painful expression.
She didn't know what she should say now, and there was only sadness in her heart.
"Haha... I know you love me, right? I am the one you have always loved." Sheng Yanxuan stroked her delicate side face.
Chu Qingxue still lowered her eyelids and did not look at Sheng Yanxuan. She just cried silently. She didn't know what she should say.
"Good boy, let's go have dinner, okay?" Sheng Yanxuan took her hand and wrapped her little hand in his palm.
Sheng Yanxuan looked at her with a smile, and the fierce look he had just had disappeared. He looked gentle and elegant, like a gentleman.
Chu Qingxue felt the heat coming from Sheng Yanxuan's generous palms. Such a gentle and doting Sheng Yanxuan made her feel in a trance.
It's better to obey him...
Chu Qingxue allowed Sheng Yanxuan to lead her out of the study. The two of them were silent all the way, and Chu Qingxue's mind went blank.
At the dinner table, Chu Qingxue lowered her head and ate quietly.
Sheng Yanxuan brought her some vegetables and carefully told her to eat slowly.
Chu Qingxue raised her head to look at him, and met his affectionate black eyes. She looked away in panic, her heart beating like a drum, and she felt extremely guilty.
"Eat more, you have lost a lot of weight in these days, do you know that you need to eat more in the future?"
Sheng Yanxuan's tone was as gentle as water, and he wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue.
Chu Qingxue looked at him and suddenly felt that Sheng Yanxuan was so terrifying.
She swallowed, nodded, and said thank you obediently.
The two of them had an extremely weird dinner.
Sheng Yanxuan served her vegetables and soup as usual, but Chu Qingxue did not feel happy.
Instead, a sense of depression lingered in her heart, making her breathless.
Chu Qingxue looked at the full bowl and suddenly remembered what Su Yingyue had written in her diary.
Sheng Yanxuan was also so attentive to her, always thinking about her, even at the dinner table, being considerate and caring.
His tenderness is not just for her, he does not belong to her alone.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxue's heart ached, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
She didn't like this feeling of being excluded. She hated Sheng Yanxuan and Su Yingyue being close, and she hated Su Yingyue even more.
When Sheng Yanxuan saw the glistening tears in Chu Qingxue's eyes, he felt a flash of pain in his heart, but he concealed it well. He gently wiped away the tears in her eyes with a tissue.
"Why are you crying?"
Sheng Yanxuan's concerned words rang in her ears, but Chu Qingxue only felt sarcasm.
She shook her head, held back her breath, and smiled slightly, "I'm fine."
Sheng Yanxuan put down his chopsticks and stretched out his right hand to hold Chu Qingxue's delicate cheeks.
"You're hiding it from me again." Sheng Yanxuan's voice was full of magnetism, and his eyes as dark as ink jade looked at her deeply.
His handsome face and her beauty were closely connected, and their breaths were intertwined.
Chu Qingxue's body trembled, her eyelashes trembled violently, and the helpless and frightened look in Sheng Yanxuan's eyes made him hate this expression.
"Ahem, I... I just feel spicy." Chu Qingxue forced a smile, and the tears shining in her eyes were pitiful.
Sheng Yanxuan released the hand holding Chu Qingxue's cheek, picked up the water glass on the table and handed it to Chu Qingxue's lips.
Chu Qingxue drank some water before she felt better. She looked at Sheng Yanxuan. Sheng Yanxuan's eyes were as dark as ink, and she couldn't see clearly what was contained in them.
After drinking the water, Sheng Yanxuan took out the paper and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Seeing his gentle movements, Chu Qingxue felt a strong sour feeling in her heart. She tried hard to control her emotions so that Sheng Yanxuan wouldn't notice.
Chu Qingxue's eyes were red and swollen and bloodshot. Sheng Yanxuan frowned when he saw it.
"Do you often do this to Su Yingyue?" Chu Qingxue raised her head and looked at Sheng Yanxuan, with a sense of grievance in her eyes.
Sheng Yanxuan did not expect that Chu Qingxue would mention Su Yingyue. He was stunned for a second and continued to wipe the corners of her mouth.
"Stop thinking nonsense, I only did it for you." Sheng Yanxuan gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead, his eyes were extremely gentle.
There were waves in Chu Qingxue's heart. Sheng Yanxuan's answer disappointed her. Sheng Yanxuan was lying to her again. He had obviously taken such good care of Su Yingyue.
"Then you have always regarded me as Su Yingyue's substitute, right?" Chu Qingxue asked through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse and dry, with suppressed anger.
Sheng Yanxuan didn't know how to explain for a while. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Chu Qingxue.
"You don't have to answer! I've already guessed it." Chu Qingxue sneered, her heart filled with despair.
Chu Qingxue's attitude made Sheng Yanxuan very sad. His heart felt like being pricked by needles. He wanted to tell Chu Qingxue the truth.
He hugged her, and his embrace made her struggle.
"Let me go!" she growled angrily.
Sheng Yanxuan ignored her struggle and held her in his arms.
"I have never thought of you as someone else's substitute. You are you. The woman I love will always be you!"
After hearing Sheng Yanxuan's final admission, Chu Qingxue stopped struggling. It took her a while to react.
But how much can you trust a man’s words?
Sheng Yanxuan once said that he only loved me, why didn't he take Su Yingyue home and lie on their wedding bed with her...
Chu Qingxue had long been extremely disappointed with Sheng Yanxuan.
She will never forgive Sheng Yanxuan for his deception this time. Even if what Sheng Yanxuan says now is very touching, it will not change the fact that he has hurt her.
"Well...I understand." Chu Qingxue's voice was very calm. She was no longer struggling or angry.
Because she was completely desperate, no matter what Sheng Yanxuan said, it didn't matter to her.
Sheng Yanxuan felt her cold body temperature, and endless distress surged from the bottom of his heart, "Qingxue..."
"I'm full, I want to go back to the room." Chu Qingxue pushed Sheng Yanxuan away, stood up slowly, and walked towards the stairs.
She had just taken a few steps when she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She couldn't help but squat down and cover her ankle.
"hiss--"
She took a breath, her eyes were red, and big tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Chu Qingxue stood up slowly, enduring the pain in her ankles.
